Professor Duncan

One of the more level-headed of the eleven, Professor Duncan is one of the Rhetoric/Philosophy teachers who encourages his students to expand their minds through reading and studying philosophy and how its applied to the universe as well as the court room.

During Houndsmoth:

In season 1, he's one of Silas' selected Occupational Course teachers in the study of Rhetoric/Philosophy: the art of winning verbal/written discourse through the application of philosophical precedent and deconstruction of one's opponent.

Graudates will be ready to become lawyers, scholars, authors & philosophers.

Duncan's mindset represents the educated side of a debate that uses textbooks, quotes, statistics, & rational discourse to convince their audience of a problem they didn't know existed and a solution too good to pass up.

He switches off teaching with Professor Fergus since Duncan teaches the philosophical precedent while Fergus teaches the rhetoric or the ability to publicly convey one's argument.

Duncan is a calm, level headed man whose rhetoric is filled a voluptuous vocabulary. He teaches his students how to speak and write eloquently in order to convey a high level of intelligence and authority to convey a mastery of their subject and the accuracy of their argument.

This methodology contrasts to Fergus' approach of deconstructing their opponent to discredit their arguments, causing the two professors to quarrel regularly.
